THRILLS AND CHILLS

OCTOBER 24TH, 2008

THRILLS AND CHILLS

With All Hallow's Eve just around the bend, we boarded the Haunted Vancouver Trolley Tour looking for a real scare.

And squealer it was, with detailed accounts of local murders and crime scene artifacts. Departing from the Vancouver Museum, the tour takes you to a few of Vancouver's more haunting historical landmarks—like the famed F.L. Baker residence at 3851 Osler Avenue and Mountain View Cemetery. It also provides a chilling and scintillating portrait of our city's darker side, from the unsolved mystery of the Scottish Nightingale to Stanley Park's Babes in the Woods.

It's the last leg of the tour (pun intended) which stops at the old city morgue for an autopsy demonstration that will really have you squirming.

Nothing a stiff drink can't cure.

The Haunted Vancouver Trolley Tours depart between 7-9 p.m. and run until November 1, 2008, advance tickets $28, available through Ticketmaster.
